Timeline
Betty Susan Cohen (born July 27, 1956) is an American businesswoman and media executive.
She attended Stanford University from 1973 to 1977, where she majored in communications.
In 1977, Cohen began her career as a production manager for Public Media Center, an ad agency.
She had been tasked with producing public service announcements, and soon came to realize that the "larger picture" was her strength rather than smaller details.
Cohen said, "I was the person who had the perspective to see where the project should head, rather than writing the first draft."
In 1982, Cohen joined the Cable Health Network as their first manager of marketing.
From 1984 to 1988, Cohen was director of on-air promotion and interstitial programming for Nickelodeon.
Her marketing at this time yielded the Nick at Nite block, dubbed "the Network for the TV Generation."

She was promoted to senior vice president of TNT and tasked her with creating a channel to house Ted Turner's recently-purchased, extensive animation library.

Dexter's Laboratory, in particular, was one of her favorite animated shows.
The network became a global phenomenon during her tenure, with asset value of nearly $3 billion.
Cohen was ranked as one of Fortune's 50 Most Powerful Women in Business in 2000.
She was inducted into the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame and received the Muse Award from NY Women in Film and TV.
Cohen currently resides in New York City, New York.
Cohen stepped down from her post on June 18, 2001, due to creative disagreements with Jamie Kellner, then-head of Turner Broadcasting; she also stated, "I was afraid I would die the queen of cartoons."

From 2005 to 2007, Cohen returned to Lifetime Entertainment Services and served as their CEO and president.
